Bought one of these kits ......... a Chinese knockoff kit for half the price about 8 years ago and use this to sharpen my own knives. Most of my old knives needed the edge reshaped from years of hard use and this thing works great. After a 10 minute pass with this kit your blades will be...

Redi-paks ...... not a new idea.

Big top pb ...... So I barely remember big top pb. We never bought that brand as a kid. But I had to Google it anyways and came up with this pic. Low and behold it answered where all this glassware I inherited came from! Apparently my wife's family bought big top pb years ago and collected the...

Pops ..... the beaters out.

Good luck ..... Dave! As they say in an appendix operation ...... "hope everything comes out ok."

I once ..... worked on a wall mounted drill press from this era with gears that looked very similar. The gears slipped over a shaft and a taper pin was driven in to hold the gear. On opposite sides of each gear you may see this pin. If it is a taper pin, the ends will be of different...

Refrigerant ..... I know the mention of refrigerant is "evil" in some circles and you typically gloss over the subject ..... but what refrigerant did you use in this unit? Or did I miss it? I see the shop before hand used some atypical mixture? Bud - Atlanta

I would be ..... Interested in finding this question out as well. But from my chemistry days I was taught that once you have suds your solution is saturated and anything more is a waste of soap?

Had an old Kenmore Corning ware ....... cook top growing up as a kid. I hated that thing! Royal PITA if anything got on it while hot. Soft scrub did a great job, but expect to spend time cleaning and polishing after every use. If something boiled over by accident, get out the scraper blade. The...

Ask for ..... Jeff Gaylord, the owner at IPE when you can. Great guy and does awesome work. I have had 3 washer tops done by them now with great results.    If you go to their FB page, you'll see a ton of photos of their work.    Bud - Atlanta

It is a ...... 1955, not '56. Have the very same model. There were 2 models of the 2 door for this year. This is the nicer of the 2 since the door shelves have the optional chrome trim and 3 ice tray shelves vs just 2.

Polished vs cast aluminum ..... require different cleaning methods.    Heavily used cast aluminum I have used spray mag cleaner found in the automotive section with good results. Takes several applications if baked on mess. It oxidizes the top layer to leave a clean/ new surface.  ...

Rhubarb ...... <a style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;" name="start_86711.1113343"></a>   Both sets of grandparents used to grow it and make rhubarb pie every year. Why? Cause it was a southern thing I guess. I hated it. No amount of sugar would make...

Grandparents septic ...... their house was built in 1943 and the septic wasn't pumped until 1985, when roots got into the inlet of the septic tank and back-ups started. Tank was in great condition except for the roots that got by the inlet pipe seal. Still in use to this day. They washed using...

When ..... did this air? Recent?

Just saw ...... a commercial for new Cascade DW pods.   "Pre-rinsing wastes up to 20 gallons of water, so don't pre-rinse and just use new Cascade!" The clear glass baking dish they were showing as an example looked like it was still full of food. UGH!   Last I checked my DW doesn't have a...

May I ask ...... how old the installer was? Just curious......   The installation manual I bet doesn't mention it is optional.

Whites in cold ...... that just ain't right! My millenia knows hot is the only way to wash whites. Taught them well. Warm for most anything else.
